Lineup notes and roster moves: Revere, Garcia, Asche

PHILADELPHIA — Ben Revere has not been the player the Phillies have hoped he'd be so far in 2014. Through 39 games played, Revere has a paltry .284 on-base percentage, which would rank dead last among qualified leadoff hitters in the majors heading into Saturday. For a player without power, getting on base is key for the speedy Revere, something he has largely failed to do.

Nonetheless, Phillies manager Ryne Sandberg placed Revere at the top of his lineup card Saturday, abandoning Jimmy Rollins as a leadoff hitter, at least for a day. Rollins is hitting .308 with a .438 on-base percentage in eight games as a leadoff hitter.

"When we've played our best baseball, I'd say that Ben was at the top doing some things and creating a little bit of havoc running the bases," Sandberg said Saturday morning. "That's what he brings to the table. We have two good base runners in the one and two spot. Jimmy's done a good job in both places."

The rest of the lineup below:

Revere CF

Rollins SS

Chase Utley 2B

Ryan Howard 1B

Marlon Byrd RF

Domonic Brown LF

Carlos Ruiz C

Cesar Hernandez 3B

David Buchanan P

Hernandez gets the start at third despite righty Dan Haren starting. Sandberg said regular third baseman Cody Asche tweaked his hamstring a bit before Friday's game, something the Phils believe is a day-to-day thing.

Buchanan is making his major-league debut in place in the injured Cliff Lee. To make room on the 25-man roster, the Phillies placed reliever Luis Garcia on the 15-day disabled list with tightness in his right forearm. Garcia pitched the eighth inning in Wednesday's 14-5 loss in Miami, throwing 49 pitches in his first appearance in two weeks.
